Was picked up from the hotel on time by a pleasant and service-minded driver. There were only two of us, but the guide still went off. Skilled and well-read guide who spoke good English. Fantastic castle with interesting history. We are very pleased with the arrangement. Good price !

The tour was very well prepared and planned, there were no delays. Our tour guide was personable, nice and friendly. The local food is recommended. We learned a lot about the country, the sights and the people in Gdansk from the past and today. The tour is recommended for everyone.

Christina was a very informative and knowledgeable guide. There were only two of us so it was like a private tour. The early morning start was perfect as the castle was not crowded.

We were picked up at the hotel at 8:00 a.m., so that we could avoid the biggest tourist streams. With the audio guide you could adjust the tempo individually. Everything went great.

Amazing castle! We had a wonderful tour which was engaging and informative and our Mr Shuttle transfer was smooth and our driver Simon was lovely. Very recommended
